Stage collapes at Indiana State Fair killing 5.
« on: August 14, 2011, 07:01:46 AM »
A 77 mph wind gusts lifted the part of the stage that held the awning, lighting, speakers and video screens nad threw it into the VIP section of the people attending the Sugarland concert. Story link and video below. My wife and I was driving home in my convertible @ 20 miles from the fairgrounds when the wind gust of over 70 mph came across us. I was sitting at an intersection and it went from a 10 mph wind to 70. It was like getting sandblasted. Thank God we were 1 block away from home. I ran the light when I could and got our ass home. Turned on the TV to watch the weather and seen the fair tradegy. From what we experienced I can see why they had no warning.

Man, that totally sucks! You would think the stage would have been more secure. I mean, when putting the stage up, you would think they would take weather into consideration.

Actually over a 100 spectators stood in the rain, lightening and winds and lifted the scaffolding off of the injured and dead while paramedics pulled them out. Shame you look at people like that as sheep.   ::)

All they needed was one Getbigger, but he probably would have stalked the scaffold for a few minutes before getting on with it.

Speaking of 'god', a guy told me that 'God controls the weather', but that 'God' did *not* make the rigging collapse and that he certainly was not guilty of murder.
